- The Renault-Nissan Alliance seeks to establish itself on a maximum of developing markets. The Alliance was launched in markets such as China, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Indonesia, Russia and African countries (it considers itself to already be the second largest motor group in Africa).Today, Nissan announced the start of the production of cars in Burma, an automobile market that opens itself after half a century of military dictatorship.

- The Japanese automaker said in a statement that its Malaysian partner Tan Chong Motors would build the largest automobile manufacturing site of Burma. The new plant should open in 2015 in the region of Bago and produce the Nissan Sunny (10 000 vehicles per year initially).

- Since the dissolution of the junta in March 2011 and the reforms initiated by the new government, most Western sanctions were lifted and foreign investors have flocked to the country, which remains today one of the world'spoorest countries. The Renault-Nissan group still thinks that this country has a great potential.

- Under the junta, buying a car was out of reach of most Burmese, due to prohibitive prices, especially related to very high import taxes, but the recent political changes and lower taxes led to an increase in vehicle demand. 

  

- The Renault brand, announced on September 18 its return to Indonesia via an agreement with the local builder Indomobil, targets a market share of 5% in the country. Renault say it will launch in 2015 several models specifically adapted and assembled locally by Indomobil.

- Indonesia, the fourth largest country in the world in terms of population, is an important automobile market with 1.2 million vehicles sold in 2013, the carmaker see a very high growth potential in this country. The penetration rate is still very low, with 46 cars per 1 000 inhabitants (less than India: 50 cars per 1 000 inhabitants).

- Renault has set itself the goal of becoming by 2016 the leading European brand in Indonesia. Currently, the Indonesian market is 90% dominated by Japanese carmakers and Europe is mainly represented by German carmakers.

- A single model holds in the country more than 15% of market share(100,000 units sold in the first half of 2013), it is the small Toyota minivan Avanza (7 seater), far ahead of its competitor the Suzuki Ertiga (5 % marketshare). Dacia Lodgy 7 seats that could be rebadged under the Renault name in this market would be a good alternative, as the new Datsun Go + a 7 seater variant of the urban Go, which was presented this summer.
